I've Been AFK for Ten Million Years-Chapter 297: Making Friends with Yang Mei Ancestor

"Tell the Emperor of Mankind that I am going to the Purple Cloud Palace. Remind the Emperor that before the Ancestor of Dao merges with the Dao, one must not kill a Saint, otherwise, Primordial will surely collapse!"

"Once Primordial shatters, it will be the catastrophic era of boundless Chaos. No creature from Primordial can escape the cause and effect; all will perish, even if they flee to other worlds and their bodies will transform into Chaos Spiritual Energy!"

Facing Fu Xi, Nuwa spoke gravely.

"Nuwa, with the Emperor of Mankind around, the Ancestor of Dao wouldn’t dare to do anything to you. If it comes to it, you could abandon this sacred position right now, and I will ask the Emperor to bestow it upon you!"

Fu Xi quickly said.

"No!"

Nuwa took a deep breath. During this period atop Mount Tai, it had been the happiest time for her, and she did not wish to involve the human race.

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace.

"This Nuwa is truly detestable. Our master had granted her Hongmeng Purple Qi so she could become a Saint. Has she forgotten all about it!"

"Hmph... If it weren’t for her, the human race would not have emerged, and Primordial would not be in such turmoil!"

...

The Three Pure Ones were extremely angry, while the two Jieyin priests were only subtly concerned, as they did not care who bestowed the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

What these two prioritized were becoming Saints and staying alive!

"Farewell!"

Above Mount Tai, Nuwa left by treading through the air. Watching Nuwa depart, Fu Xi grew anxious, but with Ren Changsheng now gone from Mount Tai, he was helpless.

"Hong Jun, I hope you know what’s wise!"

Fu Xi took a deep breath.

Within the Chaos.

"Buzz!"

As Ren Changsheng left Primordial, he felt an exhilarating sensation as the surrounding Chaos Qi frenetically surged into his body.

This Chaos.

That was truly the ultimate destination for the Ren Changsheng’s Chaos Controller body.

"How thrilling!"

Inside Ren Changsheng, power wildly surged, and as he entered into Chaos, he even felt that the world within his body was evolving much faster.

"Emperor!"

Yet at this moment, a faint voice sounded, and shortly afterward, a figure appeared in front of Ren Changsheng.

It was a man.

With the appearance of this man, Ren Changsheng distinctly felt a terrifying power emanating from him - this man was also a Saint, and one that Ren Changsheng had never encountered before.

"You are... Yang Mei Ancestor!"

Ren Changsheng’s eyes sparkled intensely. Within all of Primordial, the only Saint he hadn’t seen was Yang Mei Ancestor.

"Indeed, it is I!"

Yang Mei Ancestor gave a faint smile.

"It really is you!"

Ren Changsheng’s eyes lit up; Yang Mei Ancestor, after all, was the first to become a Saint through sheer strength, though sadly he was not as cunning as Hong Jun.

Thus, he had been forced to leave Primordial.

"How is your inner world evolving?"

Seemingly reminded of something, Ren Changsheng could not help but ask.

"Inner world?"

Yang Mei Ancestor paused momentarily, then waved his hand, and suddenly a piece of the Primordial world appeared, where the Demon Race was currently waging wars.

There were no Saints.

"As you know, those of us who become Saints through strength can achieve the realm of Heavenly Dao Saint, but to do so, the inner world must manifest Nine Venerable Sages!"

"Only then can the Heavenly Dao be perfected, and the realm of Heavenly Dao Saint be achieved!"

Looking at Ren Changsheng, Yang Mei Ancestor spoke solemnly.

"Exactly!"

Ren Changsheng nodded.

"How come you don’t have a single Saint?"

It seemed that something just occurred to Ren Changsheng, who curiously asked. The inner world of Yang Mei Ancestor had developed quite well and should have been sufficient for the emergence of Saints.

But why wasn’t there a single Saint?

How could one prove themselves as a Heavenly Dao Saint then?

However, the aura emanating from Yang Mei Ancestor was not weak at all, having reached the late stage of a Saint. This combat power was even stronger than that of Hong Jun.

"Saint!"

Yang Mei Ancestor forced a bitter smile.

"Do you think Saints appear that easily? I have roamed the Chaos for millions of years and only found a strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi!"

"To become a Saint, one needs Hongmeng Purple Qi, and to have Nine Venerable Sages, one requires nine strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi,. Collecting nine is exceedingly difficult!"

Yang Mei Ancestor sighed.

"Hongmeng Purple Qi!"

Ren Changsheng paused slightly. So Hongmeng Purple Qi was this precious? He certainly wasn’t lacking it; it could even be bought in the Hongmeng Purple Qi store.

And it wasn’t even expensive!

One billion Primordial Divine Stones per strand. What were Primordial Divine Stones? They were merely stones from the primordial times; collecting a few billion for Ren Changsheng was quite easy.

"That... that..."

It seemed that something occurred to the now somewhat awkward Yang Mei Ancestor. He learned that Ren Changsheng was about to impart nine strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi, and he was shocked, hurrying back from the Chaos for this reason—to find out.

From where did Ren Changsheng’s Hongmeng Purple Qi come?

"Do you seek Hongmeng Purple Qi?"

Ren Changsheng asked solemnly.

"Exactly!"

Yang Mei Ancestor nodded. Even thoughts of seizing Ren Changsheng’s Hongmeng Purple Qi surged in his heart, for then he could also prove himself as a Heavenly Dao Saint.

But that thought lasted only a moment; Yang Mei Ancestor was well aware that those who proved themselves through power possessed alarming combat capabilities!

Even if Ren Changsheng were not the strongest, he could leave effortlessly. In doing so, it would instead be Yang Mei Ancestor who, having offended such a formidable entity, would lose out once Ren Changsheng became a Heavenly Dao Saint—infinitely stronger than a regular Saint.

"This Hongmeng Purple Qi is indeed precious, but if you desire it, I do have some, depending on how you..."

"Do you really have it?"

Yang Mei Ancestor’s eyes shimmered with ecstasy. He had only sought to inquire and hadn’t expected Ren Changsheng to actually have Hongmeng Purple Qi.

"Make any request you desire!"

Yang Mei Ancestor urged hastily.

"Alright!"

Ren Changsheng smiled. He initially prepared to enter the Chaos to seek the Chaos Source Divine Stones himself, but now it seemed there was no need.

"Chaos Source Divine Stones..."

"I possess them, here are one hundred inferior Chaos Source Divine Stones, all collected by me from the Chaos!"

Yang Mei Ancestor quickly produced a bag, which contained over a hundred stones, each emitting a vast aura of Chaos.

"You are too kind!"

Ren Changsheng promptly took the Chaos Source Divine Stones and then his gaze once again fell on Yang Mei Ancestor.

"What treasures..."

"This is the Innate Spiritual Treasure, Treasure Lotus Lamp, the twelfth-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, Golden Lotus of Meritorious Achievements, Innate Spiritual Treasure..."

Yang Mei Ancestor gestured and brought out dozens of Innate Spiritual Treasures, all of fine quality. As one of the earliest to become a Saint, it was only natural for him to have collected many treasures.

Now, he brought them all out.

"Cough cough!"

Ren Changsheng unfazedly took them all, while Yang Mei Ancestor, having dried out, watched. These treasures meant little to him now; as long as he could become a Heavenly Dao Saint, everything was worth it.

"Talking about treasures is trivial; I primarily appreciate your straightforwardness and wish to befriend you!"

"So, these nine strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi, I am giving them to you!"

Ren Changsheng was generous indeed, freely giving away nine strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi, primarily because he wasn’t short of them. Moreover, Yang Mei Ancestor would definitely be able to become a Heavenly Dao Saint in the future. Building goodwill now certainly wouldn’t hurt.
